It depends on the backside contour of the aftermarket wheels. With the exception of the 1969 H/O, EVERY Olds A-body built with disc brakes from 1967-72 came with 14" wheels, despite what all the aftermarket brake companies may say. The problem is that GM had two different styles of 14" wheels, one that was drum-only and one that would clear the calipers on disc brakes. In this photo, the disc brake wheel is on the left. The inboard side is to the right for both wheels. Note the difference in the shape of the rim, especially the center drop part. Unfortunately there is no way to tell what your aftermarket wheels look like, though if they are newer than 1970 they almost certainly will clear.
